Eli hummed his agreement before adding on, “They also don’t know we are married. We both met one of the twins separately. Jackson met Destiny and then later that week I met Jessa in class. We didn’t know that they were twins until that day.”

“Do you plan on telling them that you are married to each other?”

“Not just yet. We want to be able to get to know the girls one-on-one before we introduce them to the idea of us together. Seems like the best option since we can’t start anything with them until the end of the semester.”

“What do you want exactly from me?” Emmett asked the guys after a short pause.

“We aren’t asking anything of you. We just wanted to come to you directly and tell you our intentions with the twins, before you found out another way. We are aware that this isn’t going to be easy and we know that there is a long battle ahead of us that as a group we will have to overcome, but we are serious about this. We want to be with the twins and we will do whatever it takes to have them as our Littles.” Jackson said, laying out his heart on the table.

“I appreciate you coming to me first. I, of course, will keep this from the twins for now, but make no mistake, if you hurt them in any way, I will come for you. I have people in all kinds of places that you don’t even want to know about.”

Eli and Jackson looked at each other grinning. This conversation went a lot easier than they had hoped for. Nodding at Emmett’s words, all the men switched the conversation to that of a lighter topic and settled in for what ended up being a very nice lunch together.

It’s beena week since they met up with Emmett and Jackson has enjoyed getting to know Destiny and Jessa a little more every time they come to the library. He has figured out that Destiny’s favorite color is light purple while Jessa told him that hers was dark purple. Both girls love Twix bars and can’t stand Almond Joy candy bars. Apparently neither of them liked coconut.

He found out that Destiny was deathly allergic to bananas. When she was a baby her parents fed her banana baby food and she almost went into anaphylactic shock. Both girls carry an epi pen for her because they never knew if something would happen and they wanted to be safe.

Jackson was proud of them for making sure to take the necessary precautions. On the days that he didn’t see the twins, which wasn’t often since Desi tried to come to the library every day, Eli would fill him in on all the things he was able to learn from them.

With each passing week, he found himself falling more and more in love with the twins. It was crazy to think that he loved them this soon, but he did. They are exactly what Eli and him needed to complete them.

The girls still had no clue that they were married to each other, but the end of the semester was only a few more weeks away. The time was coming soon to tell them and Jackson is ready to make that happen.

As if he conjured her himself, Jackson looked up just as his Little girl was walking into the building. Feeling like he was in high school again, his heart began to race as she walked towardshim. She was breathtaking today and he planned on telling her exactly that.

“Good morning, Desi! You look stunning today, as usual.”

He watched a grin spread across her face as she looked down at her outfit. She was dressed today in a light yellow jumper dress with white hightop shoes. Her hair was curled and pulled back into a bow with daisies on it. She looked adorable.

“Good morning, Jackson!”

“What’s your plans for today, Little one?”

“Since we are getting closer to finals I want to start studying and focusing on my studies material so I don’t feel so overwhelmed later.”

“That makes sense and I’m proud of you for managing your time well.”

Destiny grinned at his statement. He enjoyed seeing her light up under his praise and held onto that knowledge for future reference.

As she turned away to walk away from him, Jackson quickly reached out to grab her hand pulling her in close. At her puzzled look, he leaned down and pressed a kiss on her cheek.

The cherry red blush that burst across her cheeks made his heart happy. “Wouldn’t want you to go to your spot without doing that first.”

She turned and walked away heading to what they have both come to see as her spot now and Jackson went back to what he was doing on the computer. The college had received a new delivery of books and he was working on logging them in the system and preparing the books to go on the shelves.

It was a long and tedious process, but he enjoyed doing it because it gave him something to focus on for several days. Plus it also meant that he got to be around Destiny a little more during the day.

Several hours later,Jackson grabbed a small bottle of water that he had started keeping in the mini fridge in the back room and a mini Twix for both of them before making his way to where Destiny sat hunched over her books.

“Little darling, it's time to take a break. You’ve been at this for several hours now. I don’t think you have moved a muscle since you sat down.”

“Hi Jackson! I agree I could use a small little break.” She stated as she picked up the candy he placed in front of her.

“Fancy a different kind of break today? I could use some fresh air.”

“Can you leave like that? I thought with you being the head librarian you have to stay here all day in case problems arise.”

“Normally, I try to stay here for that reason, but there are several other librarians here that can handle any problems that may come. If there is something out of their scope that they can’t handle, they each have my number and can call.”
